"I was to begin with the family show-off and then when I was twelve, I saw Brando in his first film "The Men" in which he played a paraplegic and for some reason, maybe the timing was right I -- it had a -- a very great affect on me and made me more interested in acting and at that time in stage acting."
"I was living in Marshalltown, Iowa. I was 17. My deepest desire was to act. I'd dreamed of being an actress since I was 12. I'd seen Brando's first film, The Men. A film about paraplegics. It was the first time I'd been really impressed by the strength or power of an actor, his ability to move viewers. I read every article I could find on Brando. I read that he hated publicity and liked peace and quiet, so I wrote him inviting him to live with me and my family."
"I admire Hollywood Rebels, like Marlon Brando and James Dean, they try to protect those things which made them individuals, they fight conformity. I think maybe not fighting conformity, maybe I didn't use the right word, but rather than fighting something, they're trying to preserve something I think, which was basically what they were and which was what made them on the screen the personality which made both adults and teen-agers like them and identify with them, and it's terribly easy to become a synthetic version of yourself. I have to watch myself all the time, because suddenly, very superficial phony things start coming out of your mouth and as long as you know they're phony or superficial then that's all right, but when you stop knowing then a I think as an actress too, you're in a very bad condition, because the only thing you have which is going to appeal to people, which is going to make them believe you is -- if you are a person above all."6 years, 1 month ago

“This movie is a complete joke. First of all, most characters are underdeveloped and cartoonish. We have the annoying and chaplinesque 6 years old kid”
